From the Pastor’s Desk

A Special Award

I am grateful for the honor of being chosen for the “Distinguished Pastor of

the Year” award by the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA). The

award ceremony took place in New Orleans on April 26th at the association’s

annual conference. I am humbled by the award and I hope to live up to the

recognition. The award is a symbol of the faith, hard work, vision and perse-

verance of the many people who over the past two years collaborated to cre-

ate a new model for Catholic Education. The founding of Frassati Catholic

Academy and the redesign of three K–5 parish schools is still only a begin-

ning. Hard work on the part of many, fresh thinking, and the commitment to

academic excellence are what it takes to make a successful education pro-

gram. The other ingredient is financial support.

There’s no getting around it: education requires solid financial backing. Sup-

port for education is support for the future of our society. The challenge is to

find sources of funding beyond very limited parish subsidies. One of the ways

you can help is by becoming a tuition sponsor in whole or part or by offering a

partial scholarship for a student at Frassati Catholic Academy or St. Mary

School.

Sacramental Celebrations

I returned home from the NCEA awards ceremony to celebrate the Confirma-

tion of nearly 100 young parishioners on April 29th and the celebration of First

Communion at two Masses on May 7th as well as at several weekend

Masses. These are significant events in the life of a parish because they mark

the passing on of the faith to the next generation of disciples. The faith we

proclaim at Easter is our Catholic heritage now handed on to our youth. This

is not a static gift, but a living treasure that forms the whole person and be-

comes the wellspring of hope and meaning for the entirety of one’s life.

Pastoral Staff Transitions

As Spring brings new life to the earth, it also ushers in a season of change for

our parish. At the end of June Ms. Mary Hall who has served as St. Mary’s

business manager since 1999 will retire. Mary has played an enormous role

in overseeing the financial well–being of the parish. She was invaluable to us

during the building program and has exercised successful financial manage-

ment in a tough economy. Mary’s position will be filled by Howard Fischer, a

resident of Crystal Lake and a permanent deacon in the Rockford diocese.

His job description will be redefined to include a broader responsibility for

parish pastoral services, overseeing facilities management, finances and

general parish operations. Assisting Mr. Fischer will be Ms. Penny Elwood

whose business degree in accounting equips her for the part–time position of

Bookkeeper/Accountant.

Mr. Greg Entwhistle, our Coordinator of Youth Ministry, has decided to go

back to school for an advanced degree at Georgetown University. He will

continue his ministry with us until the end of August. Greg was our first full–

time Youth Minister, hired in 2008. We will begin our search for

Greg’s replacement after I’ve had the opportunity to form a

search committee and consult with our youth and others about

our pastoral needs and suggestions for the future.

Fr. Nate Payne who for the past twelve months has lived at St.

Mary as a resident priest while completing his studies at the

Mundelein Seminary will become our full–time associate pas-

tor on July 1, 2011. I look forward to his assistance as a full

time priest on staff. Fr. Patrick O’Malley and Fr. James Presta

will continue as our weekend assistants. And I, of course, will

continue as your pastor while retaining my duties as Dean for

Vicariate I-A and President of Frassati Catholic Academy.

I will share more about the changes on our pastoral staff in the

coming weeks. We are blessed with a hard working, bright and

mission-driven pastoral staff. The work they do is often behind

the scenes but is critical to the effective operation of the parish

in service to God’s people. I am grateful to all of our staff who

have contributed so much to St. Mary of the Annunciation.

While change is always difficult, it also carries the opportunity

for reviewing the needs of the community, the effectiveness of

our programs and services and to move forward with renewed

commitment to the mission Christ has entrusted to us.

So you can see that May will be a busy month of celebrations

and transitions. May the Risen Lord direct our efforts and hold

us together in the unity of our faith and the spirit of Charity.

Fr. Ron Lewinski

Parish Outreach – Reaching Out Catholic Charities is in need of volunteer drivers to

deliver meals to homebound seniors throughout north-

ern Lake County, especially in the Waukegan/North

Chicago area. Delivery routes typically require about

an hour and one half of your time. Deliveries take

place during the lunch hour on Monday – Friday, and

you can volunteer as infrequently as once per month or as often as

you desire. Partner with a friend or better yet, get your work unit in-

volved. Some workplace supervisors are willing to add a little flex to

the lunch hour for personnel involved in community service. It is also a

great ministry for moms with toddlers––it benefits both the kids and

seniors alike. All that is required is a car and a desire to be Christ’s

hands and feet in the world. To volunteer your time or obtain more

information, call Jim Wogan from Catholic Charities at 847-782-4126.

Ministers of Care will be available to assist anyone who needs help. Those who wish to be anointed are asked to sit in the front row of pews or at the end of the pews along the center aisle. Please check in and receive a name tag. This will identify you to the priest as a person to be anointed.

Having Difficulty Hearing the Mass? In December we installed an induction loop sys-

tem in the new church. The illustration below

explains how it works. If you use a hearing aid,

switch it to use the T-coil. If your hearing aid

does not have this feature or if you simply need

better amplification, ask an usher for hearing loop headphones, illus-

trated right. You’ll be amazed at the clarity!

The next Senior Club Meeting will be Monday, May

9, 2011, at noon in the church meeting rooms.

Good friends, great jokes and a lunch Have any

questions, please call Joyce Ladewig at 847-543-

Spartan Sports Update

Boys Basketball: The St. Mary School Boys Basketball Team fin-

ished its season with a 5-3 record and a 2nd place finish in the Trans-

figuration Charger Classic Tournament.

Coach Jeff Sierawski said, “The boys' basketball team really learned to

play as a team and had incredible success this year. They advanced

all the way to the championship game of the Transfiguration Charger

Classic Tournament. The things that really made the coaches proud

were their fantastic sportsmanship, their enthusiasm and their desire

to see every teammate succeed during the games."

The team consisted of: Quinn Burns, Dominic Cappuccilli, Danny

Fiske, Zachary Friese, Kennedy Gawin, Kevin Hamilton, Brock

Kirchner-Ortiz, Evan Murphy, Bailey Nitch, Eddie Otrembiak, Ben Rob-

erts, Colin Roos, Andrew Sierawski, Ryan Story, David Stull and Jack

Teehan.

Girls Basketball: The St. Mary School Girls Basketball Team had a

record of 9-3 and closed out its high-intensity season as Consolation

Champions in the Transfiguration Charger Classic Tournament.

Coach David Spada described the team as very determined.

“Sometimes they were the smallest team on the court, but that didn’t

stop them,” he said. “They were very determined and gelled well as a

team.”

Members of the team were: Eileen Arata, Annie Burkhalter, Victoria

Chan, Olivia Coutre, Riley Harmon, Sydney Herchenbach, Jane

O’Connor, Caitlin Teehan, Morgan Smola and Bella Anichini.

Spartan Sports Day: The weather was cold but the energy level was

high as St. Mary School students gathered on a Saturday morning in

the gym in late winter to compete in a three-on-three floor hockey tour-

nament and play a rousing kickball game as part of the first-ever Spar-

tan Sports Day. Fifth graders Bailey Nitch, Kennedy Gawin and Quinn

Burns took home the win in the floor-hockey tournament. Earlier in the

day, second and third graders enjoyed a lively game of kickball. Every

player scored and a few even had home runs.

Spartan Sports Day was coordinated by St. Mary School Athletic Di-

rector Gretchen O’Connor to provide a fun sporting opportunity that all

students at the school could participate in outside of school hours.

Congratulations to all our St. Mary School athletes for an out-

standing season and great sportsmanship. Well done!

Featured CD for May

Our Lives Change When Our Habits Change

by Matthew Kelly

Matthew Kelly has inspired millions with the message that there is

genius in Catholicism, but if the Church is to avoid falling into obscu-

rity, individual Catholics must demonstrate its relevance through a

dedication to becoming the best-version-of-themselves. Matthew

gives practical guidance in two dynamic talks on ways that we can

change our habits to change our lives... and awaken the sleeping giant

that is the Church. One of several wonderful CDs offered by this en-

gaging and gifted speaker.

Please remember a $3 donation per CD is suggested to allow the

parish to continue the program and offer new material.

Mesi Pou Soulye Mwen (“Thank your for my shoes” in Hatian Creol)

During this Lenten season, the students at Frassati Academy partici-

pated in a program in which they collected new and gently worn shoes

that would be sent to Sassier, Haiti. As you may remember, some

people in the most remote parts of Haiti never would own a pair of

shoes if it were not for programs such as this. During the collection

period over 850 pair of shoes/footwear were collected. On behalf of

the people of Haiti, who will benefit tremendously from these donated

shoes, the staff of St. Mary would like to thank the students, faculty

and the St. Mary parishioners who supported the Academy students

through their contributions. The season of Lent is one that has as its

foundation prayer, fasting and giving (sacrifices). The students at Fras-

sati definitely showed how they embraced the spirit of giving as they

gave and gave and gave. May God bless them and you for your gen-

erosity and kindness for the underprivileged in Haiti. Please pray for

the people of Haiti and for all who are poor and hungry.
